The Story in Brief
At least 24 people were killed and over 50 injured when a suicide car bomber struck a shuttle train in Quetta, Balochistan, on Sunday. The banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) said it targeted the train because it carried military personnel. Pakistan’s Railways Minister confirmed civilian passengers were aboard, many heading home for Eid. The driver of an explosive-laden minivan rammed the train near Chaman Phatak, destroying the engine and three coaches. Three Frontier Corps personnel are among the dead. Officials said the toll may rise further.
The Indian Opinion
This attack is a grim reminder of the human cost of Balochistan’s insurgency. Pakistan often blames India for supporting the BLA, but such allegations lack public evidence. The focus should be on securing civilians and holding perpetrators accountable, not deflecting blame. Watch whether Islamabad releases a transparent investigation or lets the 'external hand' narrative dominate.
